he W2 professorship is located at the Institute for Statistics of the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics and is linked to the management of the Computational Statistics & Dynamical Systems for Life Sciences working group at the Institute for Computational Health (ICB) of the Helmholtz Center Munich (Helmholtz Munich).

The responsibilities of this professorship include teaching and research in the field of statistical methods and machine learning with applications in the life sciences. A close collaboration between research topics at Helmholtz Munich and the Institute of Statistics at LMU Munich is to be fostered. This particularly encompasses work in the area of ​​modeling biological time series and the statistical inference of dynamical systems from biological datasets, as well as the interpretability of these methods. Furthermore, the professorship is expected to strengthen and expand the teaching program in statistics and data science in the life sciences at LMU Munich. Collaboration with the Munich School for Data Science (MUDS) and the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML) is expected. Cooperation with the institute's consulting centers (Statistical Consulting Lab, Machine Learning Consulting Unit) is also encouraged.

LMU and Helmholtz Munich are specifically addressing this call for applications to highly qualified early-career scientists (m/f/d) who, following a completed university de
